Last week I heard another entrepreneur saying she is an "80% person". The context is that she has a hard time following through on the last 20%. It resonated so well with me because I also think I am an 80% person.
I'm very productive in creating the initial 80% of a product, but I struggle at making it 100%. Just to be clear, no product ever gets to be 100% because that is not good business since the cost as you get closer to 100% grows exponential.
The realization for me is that I struggle to take the last 20% because I'm not good at it. Wait, I actually suck at it.
The interesting aspect is that there are people that are good at taking the product to the 96% level, so, ideally I would partner with someone like that, that can take a feature or a component, and make it cleaner, better, smoother.
I belive most entrepreneurs are more like me. They like to create something from nothing, but struggle at following through.
What do you think?
